Made in the Netherlands, Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylics are a good value for beginner and intermediate acrylic artists, and art students. These student-grade heavy-body acrylics offer permanence and excellent lightfastness.
Their thick consistency allows you to replicate oil-type effects, and their fast-drying and toxic-free formula make them ideal for the classroom.
Customers praised this acrylic paint as "juicy and smooth" with rich, vibrant colors. Many noted it's the "best acrylic out there at that price point," excellent for underpainting, glazing, and mono printing. Some mentioned tubes are smaller and pricier post-pandemic, though the pigment quality and consistency remain strong for student-grade paint.

The paint is good for student quality and has plenty of pigment for even coverage with vonsistent viscosity. However, the tubes are smaller and a bit more expensive since covid. Otherwise, I am very happy with the product.

I use this to colour my gesso when applying as a tonal underpainting for my canvas or board, so it doesn't need to be professional quality.

Do you have Amsterdam cadmium red
Opus Art Supplies
Hi Annele,
We don't carry any Amsterdam paints in cadmium colours, but if you're looking for an acrylic paint with cadmium in it, I would suggest either our house brand Opus Essential Acrylics or Golden Acrylics, which both have cadmium red available. For a more cost effective option, Liquitex Basics has "hue's" of cadmium colours, which mimic the qualities of cadmium paints without containing any cadmium.
